Hey all, first time poster here.
I bought a used M77 Mark ii a few years back in 7mm rem mag. Honestly its a lot of gun for me with recoil and haven't been able to get good grouping with it.
Doing some research on some other forums on how to eliminate variables (other than become a better shooter, already working on that with fundamentals), I've seen a few posts about bottom metal affecting accuracy and making sure those screws are tightened to spec (again, easy way to eliminate accuracy variables).
This model has flathead screws that clearly have been worked over a few times, and I'm unable to even try to get it to torque to a reasonable tightness because of that - I had my fat wrench set for 30 inch lbs for reference.
I've noticed some aftermarket bottom metal hex screw upgrades here and there, but never the set of two. Any advice on where to search for these? I thought a Ruger forum might be a good start.
